Brain Drain

The Republican National Committee, looking to maximize the effectiveness of its propaganda machine, recently commissioned a top-secret study which measured the IQs of prominent conservative radio personalities. I have acquired a copy of this report.

HOST(ESS) IQ

Laura Ingraham 130

G. Gordon Liddy 128

Mark Levin 121

Michael Medved 117

Hugh Hewitt 114

Neil Boortz 111

Bill O’Reilly 110

Rush Limbaugh 104

Michael Savage 100

Glenn Beck 96

Sean Hannity 81

“Mancow” (N/A)

The authors of the study conclude that superior intelligence is not required for the vast majority of Republican propaganda efforts. Moreover, there appears to be a strong inverse correlation between a radio host’s IQ and the size of his audience.
